A Trip to the Farm



While our garden is still growing, we're in need of a good source of fresh fruits and vegetables.  We wanted a local source for seasonal produce and discovered a CSA in our area, Black Hog Farm.  Today was Slow Food's Tour de Farm, an exposition of over 20 different farms in Florida.  We took a little field trip to Black Hog Farm to turn in our CSA application and check out the operation.

We were really impressed with the farm and we're really excited about joining the CSA.  Besides the fresh produce, we'll also be getting a chicken and a dozen eggs every week.  Yum!

Meanwhile, our own garden continues to grow each day.  I think the cucumbers are going to take over!

Cucumbers

Carrots

Jasmine.  I wish these were always blooming!
